NBC Is Saving "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" So Maybe Not Everything Is Garbage

Cocreator Mike Schur announced on Twitter that NBC will be giving Brooklyn Nine-Nine a sixth season after massive support from fans.

After a massive outpour of support for Brooklyn Nine-Nine after it was canceled by Fox, the show has been saved by NBC!

The upcoming 13-episode sixth season of the workplace comedy will maintain its cast and writers, joining cocreator Mike Schur's two other shows on the network: The Good Place and Abby's.

NBC confirmed the news in a statement to BuzzFeed News. "Ever since we sold this show to Fox I’ve regretted letting it get away, and it’s high time it came back to its rightful home," said Robert Greenblatt, the chair of NBC Entertainment.

The cast and crew were quick to share the big news with fans on social media, thanking everyone again for their support and including some of the best GIF'd moments from the show.
